Product Description

Passionate about crafting the fine sake, Momokawa Brewing of Japan (MBJ) traces its history back centuries to Japan’s Edo Period and has roots in the honorable way of the samurai. It is, however, the modern age of its brewing that is most revered. Under the direction of Toji Yoshio Koizumi, the world’s most awarded sake brewer, their sake continues to be extolled in Japan. The highly skilled and certified, 13-member brew team is trained in the theory, techniques, and traditions of the renowned Nanbu Toji— a school of master brewers that originated in the Iwate Prefecture.

The Murai Family Nigori Genshu is undiluted, around 18-20% ABV sake. Most sake are diluted to 14-15% alcohol but Genshu have no added water and are typically heartier in flavor and body. Its mildly sweet scent has notes of vanilla followed by flavors of coconut, currant, cream, and spice with a velvety, lingering finish. Layered and bold, round and robust. Perfect for pairing with spicy curry or Latin dishes, mac n’ cheese, cigars and chocolate lava cake.

The Murai Family Daiginjo is the pinnacle of the sake brewer’s craft, handmade by the only master sake brewer, Yoshio Koizumi, and wholeheartedly endorsed as one of the best sakes on the market. The Murai family paid extra attention to the fine details with not only the brewing, but the bottle shape as well. It's designed specifically to enhance the sound of this luscious brew being poured. A gift for all your senses; this incredible brew should not be passed up.

The flavor is mellow, with notes of lychee and melon, paired with slight natural sweetness of Yamada Nishiki rice and subtle notes of white flowers and apricot. We’d encourage pure enjoyment of this all on its own, but if you are to pair it with food, go light and keep the flavors soft and mellow to allow the sake shine in its elegance.
